"Had to watch a handicapped woman in a wheelchair move some scooters out of her way today on Commerce street because these fucking Bird scooters were taking 3/4 of the sidewalk," the moderator posted yesterday.

Several other photos of inconveniently parked or discarded scooters also populate the group, which so far has 40 likes.

What Bird brings to downtown S.A. is open to interpretation. Fans extol the scooters as a cheap, no-emissions way to close the "last mile" between public transportation and a final destination. But for some pedestrians — and curmudgeons — they represent an annoying obstacle or even a safety risk.

Earlier this month a San Antonio woman was run down by a reckless scooter pilot outside a downtown building, and similar news reports have popped up around the country as urban centers adapt to these electrified rides whizzing across their sidewalks.

Again, we stand by our prediction that there's a backlash in the wings. And "Fuck Bird Scooters - San Antonio Edition" may just be the opening salvo.
